When will the servers go down?
- Patch 1.1 will be deployed on November 18 at 2:00 PM German time. The maintenance work will also start then.
- The maintenance is expected to last about 4 hours.
- Around 6:00 PM our time, the server downtime should be over.
However, there have been significant extensions in maintenance during previous updates. At the worst time, we had to wait almost 9 hours for the servers to return, although only 4 hours were announced.
If this happens again considering this major update, the server downtime could hit prime time in Germany.
We at MeinMMO will keep you updated on any potential extensions of the maintenance in this news.
